Our stay was overall average. I have stayed in many Best Western chain this one in particular needs a bit of work- room outdate with furniture, carpet, fridge and microwave. Breakfast was decent and cleaning was good cannot complain about that. Easy drive to many eating places and pharmacy as i appreciate as we traveled with two kids for just a few days....it did the may job to rest our head for a few hours as our itinerary was a busy one.

Better Response!

This particular Best Western Hotel facility badly needs a face lift on the exterior and in the rooms! While the lobby area is inviting and contemporary in look, the other areas show their age. Having the Moose Lodge in the rear is also a negative - noisy!
